  12. 22. The type of ions that collect in the lumen of the thylakoid membranes and flow through ATP synthase in order to cause photophosphorylation of ADP + P into ATP.
  13. 26. What NADP+ becomes when it accepts a pair of high energy electrons in the light dependent reactions (3).
  14. 29. High energy, 3 carbon intermediate of the Calvin Cycle that is produced as a result of the breakdown of
  15. 30. The process by which plants and some other organisms use light energy to power chemical reactions that convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and high-energy carbohydrates such as sugars and starches.
  16. 31. A lower powered energy storate molecule that consists of adenine, ribose sugar, and two phosphate groups (1).
  17. 32. and use it to produce its own food from inorganic compounds; also called a producer (1).
